My wife dropped her Rezound and smashed the screen. After purchasing and installing the screen it works, but not always. It seems to get random screen taps towards around the first quarter of the screen so it is always canceling what she is doing or typing extra letters when she is typing. I've taken it apart a couple more times to inspect it and it seems like all is connected soundly. Any idea on how to fix this?
Many thanks!
You can never be sure with 3rd party replacement LCDs and digitizers.
Greys right I bought a third party digitizer for I'm incredible and I seemed like some spots just didn't touch right, also you need to make sure there's nothing pinching the wire ribbon and its in strait, that could cause these problems as well. Hope this helps, remember always go OEM, batteries, screens, digatizers.. these components are made to a certain standard by HTC that third party manufacturers don't care about.

Thanks for the advice. However when I power off the screen, and press on the digitizer and turn it back on it seems to work better for a while. Might there be a loose connection I'm missing?
Where's the best place to buy an OEM digitizer?
Thanks again!
I'm not sure if you can buy an OEM digitizer.
Only from an old unused rezound as far as I know..

Sorry fat finger post to soon..
Ok purchased digitized and replaced it. Looked good everything went fine. Till I tried to make a call the screen just goes black and unresponsive. Have to remove battery to fix it. My brother called and it rang but when I answered it went black and I couldn't hear him but he said he heard me. Please help me with this issue.

Ok. Update it works if you use a wired headset. Maybe the speaker is not installed correctly. It was attached to the digitizer when I removed it so maybe it is installed wrong.

It is the speaker and the proximity sensor. There is a tiny rubber cover with a hole in it, which goes over the sensor next to the speaker. It needs this to function properly, otherwise the screen will go off on calls and not come back on.

Is it u shaped. Kinda goes around three sides of the speaker.

Is there a way I can make it work or buy that piece.

Ok new update if you push down on the digitizer in the top right corner it will work so it is the proximity sensor. On another note my digitizer is not flush with the case. This is prob due to the metal shield that I had to pry up to attach the digitizer. I will try and find some good two sided tape to pull the digitizer and lcd back down.

Hi tbone22, same problem as you, I have removed digitizer for 3 times, and finally, speaker works fine, but the screen goes blank on calls, and I must to press screen to came again.
If you have found a solution for this, pls explain it ( double sided tape, or something similar.
Regards.
Oh such fun. Been through this myself.
Here's my curiosity... Are we installing the new digitizers wrong, or is the replacement part different in such a way that it prevents the sensor from properly working?
Also, The sensor is quitesensitive, if you remove the digi and get the sensor in a position where it's unblocked, and load up Z-devicetest which will show you the sensor's state in real time, you'll see a finger within 1-2"of the sensor triggers it, even if it doesn't really block much light.
Seems like a relative measurement, which makes me wonder if some calibration needs to be done after replacing a digi to get the software to understand what the sensor is telling it.
Then there's also the curiosity of the sensor's durability -- is it a hit sufficient to take out the digi also likely to damage the sensor? I considered replacing the sensor itself, as it's a simple SMT component on it's own small little board (read: relatively easy to rework) but couldn't find a domestic source of the part (Capella CM3602)
There is a tiny rubber cover for the sensor with a hole in it. If it is missing the sensor doesn't work properly. I had this problem when I replaced the digitizer and realized I had not mounted the cover correctly. Now the sensor works flawlessly.

There is a way to disable the sensor it is in a thread titled proximity sensor something. As far as rubber boot I wish you could buy it I guess mine was thrown out with the old digitizer. If you use the disable function you will need a app like screen suite to lock your keys when you make a call.

Where did you purchase the digitizer? Maybe I'm not looking in the right place but when you search for htc aria digitizer on bay they are charging $400-500. Also, what's the easiest way to replace the digitizer? Anyone have a link to a YouTube video? Can you just pull up the screen or do you have to take the whole thing apart? I saw one vid where the guy pulled the whole thing apart to change the LCD, but what about just the digitizer?
You could probably hack some sort of DIY replacement for the rubber boot. I believe all it does is block the sensor's peripheral vision, limiting its vision to straight through the circular windows on the glass.

Oh drat. Guess I lost that little piece. Maybe someday (like next time i smash the phone lol) I'll rig something up
TY for info!
Second and/or third opinion. All areas of the screen do not respond to touch on a normal basis. Soft keys work fine. 3 different ROMS tried, froyo, gb, and eclair.
Informed opinion is saying digitizer is not working?

My money is on the informed opinion at 20:1
The digitizers can be replaced for about $30 if you are a little bit handy - this post over on AF contains a link to a useful video of the procedure on YouTube. I suppose it's feasible that the problem is as simple as a "loose connector", but that's still a hardware problem, not software.

Search around (both here and on AF) in the Eris forums for "screen replacement" or "digitizer"; you might find some links to inexpensive sources for the digitizer and cover glass

Yeah, that's what I thought. Good to have a second opinion though. Haven't used this phone in about a year anyway, not sure if I have a plan for fixing it or not to be honest.
FYI, it occurred to me that many of the folks that have replaced their digitizer did so because of one or two different scenarios:
- they dropped their phone and cracked or smashed the cover glass
- portions of the touchscreen stopped working.
In your case, because you don't have partial functionality of the touchscreen, the possibility exists that the problem is elsewhere (for instance in the electronics or wiring which "talk" to the digitizer).
It would be disappointing to go through the trouble of replacing the digitizer only to find out that you had spent the money for no result; but cut-n-try is the name of the game in electronics repair.
I mentioned the other possibility of a simple case of a loose connector - before you spend the money, you might try popping the Eris open and then disconnecting and reconnecting the flex-cable connectors to see if its an easy fix like that.

Since I don't use it and it has been in a drawer since September of 2010 I might get around to it but I really don't think so.
I am half tempted to just mail it off to the first person that wants it.
i just recently replaced my digitizer, but like the previous post said, the problem was that only certain parts had no touch. i actually started to have another problem where pushing the back soft key would then initiate a barrage of pushes from all over the screen. honestly, if the soft keys are working and the rest of the screen isnt, i doubt that its a loose connection.
i found my digitizer on ebay for around $30 give or take a dollar or two. and its honestly not too hard to replace if you watch youtube videos on it. the only hard part is taking off the original digitizer (seriously u feel like its going to snap from how much pressure you need to put on the adhesive they used before) and trying to clean all that adhesive they had on before. but i was very pleased after replacement to have my eris working wonderfully, lol mainly because my upgrade at the time wasnt for another month!! and just think, with the condemned soul wifi fix for non-serviced phones, you can have the almost equivalent of an ipod touch with $30 n a little bit of handywork )
I got mine 2 days ago and every once in a while when i hit the power button to turn on the display the screen tears, it mostly happens on the lockscreen but its been on the mainscreen too. plus i dont know if there is a dead pixel but there is a pixel that is kinda dimmed. what do you guys recommend me to do ? i have no problem with the gps or wifi issues (dont care for gps and mostly gonna use it to take notes in class)
Is this software related or the display panel acting up ?

Exchange it. Someone posted a similar picture to yours in a thread I made, but I didn't have that issue.

It is software problem. If it was a hardware one you the screen would like different. Am sure of it. Try hard reset or even wipe all date and make fresh start - you can do this in preferences.
I've just noticed three specs of dust behind the glass in a line, right in the middle of the screen. They weren't there before today.
I can only imagine the dock port, speaker grille and screen panel aren't properly sealed, allowing dust into the chassis. Infuriating. Once you see them, you can't un-see them.

Well why am not surprised at all? I had the same problem with TF101. The only thing you can do is to send Prime for a fixing. And it will take even few weeks...
And one more thing. The dust you see does not came from outside. This dust was already inside but it has moved. Yeach... the same story like I had 6 months ago...
It is a factory defect.

It's the digitizer assembly, not the actual LCD Screen. it's what goes on top.
What he said.
But do you know if your actual screen is broke, or just the digitizer.

My screen is shattered from a drop. It works still without any problems. Would this be what I need to fix it? If so, I'm in for $100.

It probably is all you need if the lcd is still working, however my experience on older htc phones is that they are always very difficult to put in despite what the seller says. Often the lcd gets broken while separating the broken touch screen.The best way is to get a unit of BOTH the lcd and the touch screen digitizer-an assembly- already together. That will still be pretty difficult to do so don't expect less. Won't be long till a bunch of parts phones start surfacing on ebay and screen prices drop.
I bought a screen from this website, for a self repair because sprint no longer fixes cracked screens themselves. Well they claim to sell OEM parrs and i beg to differ. Right off the bat when i took the screen out of the package, i noticed when the screens were off the original screen was Alot more dark. But i didnt pay much attention. The install went smooth (other than me breaking the captive button backlights(my fault, and its no big deal) But when i powered it on, it has a tint to it similar to samsung devices, also it has Way less dark colors. (Im comparing to by brothers phone, who also has the evo lte) and if i press kinda hard and let off on the screen it makes a whiter white in between the 2 fingers i press with, and when i let off it makes a clicking noise. I think the one peice screen/digitizer has a very small gap inbetween them. So i dont even know if it is gorilla glass.
Edit: yeah. I was browsing my twitter about a week ago when the digitizer randomly cracked all the way across the screen and now alot of pixels are drying everywhere. But im getting the htc one now. Eitherway, they are garbage as a company
